[00:37.66]She was heavy with pups at the time,
[00:40.97]and I didn't know whether I should send her out there.
[00:45.40]It was a cold day in the fall. Well, she took right off and away she went.
[00:52.60]But she didn't show up when it got dark. I began to worry about her.
[00:58.68]She was a good dog, a really good retriever. She'd get anything I shot at.
[01:05.56]So the next morning I woke up and I thought I'd better go see if I could find her.
[01:12.68]And I got down to the shoreline of the lake and I looked out.
[01:18.26]Suddenly I saw something coming. It was this dog, she came into the shore!
[01:26.33]She had three ducks in her mouth. And behind her she had seven pups.

[03:14.94]and I've roasted two ducks and left them there for him in the other room.
[03:22.28]Don't you touch them." The daughter said,"No, I won't touch them."

[05:37.25]The daughter called her Papa and said,
[05:42.00]"Papa, the preacher got both of the ducks and has gone."

[05:56.22]"Hey, where are you going in such a hurry?
[06:02.30]Come back here right now!"
